Our programme is at the heart of what Girlguiding does, and one of the things Girlguiding is known for is fun, inspiring activities that help girls to build key skills that are relevant to their lives. The Peer Education project forms a key aspect of the Girlguiding programme offer, and we are looking for a Peer Education project manager to develop new resources, manage the project and support peer educators and other key stakeholders across the organisation. Our Peer Education project is embellished with a quality training offer for peer educators, and supplemented with quality resources on topics such as promoting body confidence and challenging gender stereotypes.

With proven experience of delivering projects using project management processes and techniques, the successful candidate will ensure that the project is delivered to time and within budget, as part of a wider strategy to deliver an enhanced programme offer for all young members.

With a really clear understanding of what quality programme activities and resources that empower, inspire and challenge young people look like, you will have at least six months’ experience of working directly with young people aged 4-25, delivering activities in a peer education, charity, arts, heritage, leisure or similar setting. You should be able to demonstrate experience of developing successful exciting, active and age-appropriate activities or resources for the age groups specified. You should be able to demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication skills when working with internal and external stakeholders at all levels.

Girlguiding values the differences that a diverse workforce brings and is committed to inclusivity, and to employing and supporting a diverse workforce. Girlguiding is proud to be part of the Stonewall Diversity Champions programme, a member of the Business Disability Forum, and a member of Time to Change – improving attitudes towards mental health. While Girlguiding’s young members may be female only, our staff team is mixed gender. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability (physical or mental), gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

Every person - and every organisation - is unique. We all have different goals at work. At Guardian Jobs, we bring together like-minded job seekers and employers to create a happier world of work for everyone.
